Maintenance

It's advised to clean your bike before putting it away as dirt (especially mud) might harden the longer it's left. 

Make sure you've unplugged the power supply but there's no need to unplug any other wiring and we also don't advise doing so. Get a damp cloth and simply wipe down the bash guard, motor exterior, chainring, chain guard, and the peripherals. Do not use any soap-like liquid against the motor, clean water is all you need. 

If there's lots of dirt stuck in between the bash guard and controller, rather use a small brush, like a toothbrush, to get it out. 

Even though the kit's components are rain proof, refrain from soaking the cloth completely or submerging the motor or components in water as this could lead to irreversible water damage. Most importantly, make sure everything is dried nicely before attempting to power it back up. 

There's no specific time to self-service your kit. Although we do recommend having a good look at the overall condition of your kit before and after every tide. This is easy enough since all you need to do is check a few things:

• Make sure there's no grease running from the gearbox.
• If anything went loose, like nuts and bolts, tighten it back up.
• Make sure that all wires are still in good condition and still plugged in nicely.
• Check the chain for proper tension and lubrication. You can use standard chain cleaner and lubrication when needed.
• Make sure there is no unusual noise when running the motor. 
• If there are any components that look like they're wearing thin, be sure to contact us for a replacement before pushing you limits on your next ride.
